I love it and created my own instance!!

Manjaro. It just worked on any device I installed it on. And wifi just worked with no fiddling.

Then I installed it on surface tablet. What didn’t work, I found kernel fixes I could implement.

Of all the distros, for me, it was the easiest to use, install and manipulate!!

Black beans are the mighty bean

Manjaro friends unite!

I saw Esau kissing Kate.

The fact is we all three saw.

For I saw him and she saw me,

and he saw, I saw, Esau.

To all who come here with the same issue, I am op posting from my new instance.

• lemmy instances are not automatically connected
• at least one user must be following a community for others to search it
• to add your first community hosted by another instance, search for the full address in your lemmy search example: !cats@lemmy.blahaj.zone after clicking search, wait 5-10 seconds and it will pull up
• click on the link and subscribe. Now when another user, uses your instance they can find that community!
• ok… Now you have 1 extra community… What about the thousands that exist?! Read through the comments. Someone provided a tool to basically create a bot account to add servers. I took this idea and created one as well (not sharing it’s terrible) but it went through all of my approved instances and all of the communities and subscribed to all. I now have 2300+ communities.

You’re welcome self!

(I’m such a dork)

Possibly ignorant on this but most of that is probably bots to appear busier than they are. I’m not saying they’re aren’t a lot of people but…

I found a tool to basically create a bot account to add servers. It uses the lemmy api. I took this idea and created one as well (not sharing it’s terrible) but it went through all of my approved instances and all of the communities and subscribed to all. I now have 2300+ communities. That I can see from my instance

• I play beat saber.
• watch TV
• draw
• play video games
• crochet
• build robots
• organize
• compose music on the piano

Whatever I can focus on, it helps me release the day
